Jack Olson

PRICE - A very special person was taken from us at the prime of his life when Jack Jim Olson, age 42, passed away June 23, 2003 at Utah Valley hospital in Provo.

He was born March 6, 1961 in Price to Willis Olson Jr. and Alice Jackson. Married Melinda "Mindy" Kessler July 1, 1983 in Price.

Jack had a personality that was matched by no other and, when he laughed, the world laughed with him. His friends and family were very dear to him and he was the catalyst that held everyone together.

Jack's hobbies were hunting, fishing, camping and barbecuing for family and friends. He was a truck driver by trade, who loved to travel the country, and was an accomplished equipment operator. In his youth, he spent some time in the coal mines and, the past couple of years, he was unable to work due to both shoulders being reconstructed.

Dick honorably served his country for 7.5 years in the U.S. Army, where he was a paratrooper and he was very proud to do so. He served his last tour of duty in Vietnam, where he was awarded the parachutist, expert and sharpshooter badges.

He was a member of VFW Miners Post 2379.

After leaving the service, Dick married his childhood sweetheart, Claudette Jones, on June 9, 1966 in Reno, Nev. After living in California for two years, they returned to their home state of Utah, where he went to work for UMWA Local 8622 at Castle Gate. After his retirement from the mine, Dick continued to work for ECI in Price.

Dick enjoyed camping and hunting with his family. He loved to work and spend time with his boys on their fishing boat, "Shark Bait." He spent countless hours in his shed tinkering and working on well-planned projects.

Dad would never pass up a good card game or a cold "Bud." He cherished every moment he spent with his grandkids.

His children will always remember and live by his wise words and loving lectures. We will always hold dear and remember fondly his affectionate "Hey, Babe" when referring to his lifelong love, Claudette.

Funeral service Friday, June 27, 2 p.m., Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will be at Mitchell's Friday one hour prior to service. Friends are welcome at Mitchell's daily, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Interment, Wellington City Cemetery.
